About Caleb Freed

Owned by Joshua and Lindie Freed from and Bothell, Washington, and run by me, Caleb Freed, an employee of Joshua. It was built by the parents of Joshua, Dennis and Ellen Freed from Big Timber, Montana. We rent Sunrise House to fund the operation costs so that we can continue to provide assistance to the people of Bohol through Montana on a Mission. Check it out at 'montanaonamission.org' or on FaceBook - 'montana on a mission'. Our goal is to provide a family friendly environment, safe and filled with available excursions and activities at Sunrise House.

Caleb Freed purchased this Estate in 1997

Why Caleb Freed chose Loboc

Denny and Ellen searched for over a year to find the perfect location with sweeping views of the hills overlooking Loboc River and the Bohol Sea. We have numerous coconut, mango, cocao, papaya, lemonsita, avocado trees and banana plants. We enjoy cool nights, gentle breezes and escape from the noise and hustle of the city, and the Sunrise House is the perfect place to do just that!
Out of all my travels, I have never been to a place where the people there will bend over backwards just to make you feel at home, even if you have never met them before. It is such a hospitable land and I have never even had so much as a sour look from anyone in 20 years. Perfect for vacation and family time.

What makes this Estate unique

Private setting, onsite security, onsite hostess, swimming pool, basketball/tennis court, facilities to accommodate corporate retreats and trainings, as well as 24 hour accommodation by our on-site manager who lives in her own home on the property.
Note: You get privacy when you rent Sunrise Rise House as the entire facility (excepting the Manager's house) are yours for your private use i.e. grounds, pool, basketball court etc.

What a gem

5/5

Stayed Feb 2019

We had an amazing time at Sunrise House and so glad we took the chance to stay here. Yes, it is on top of a mountain and seemingly in the middle of nowhere. But if you are for some reason in need of a large house in Bohol, this is the one.

We were 7 adults 4 children and stayed 3 nights. The house is very memorable but I'd say what made our stay is the amazing staff that helped with literally every aspect of our stay. Thank you, Laarni!! What a treat to have home cooked meals every day while on vacation. Flexibility with the booking itself was also great.

Keep in mind you will still encounter elements in the middle of a jungle - there are bugs, lizards, humidity, sensitive plumbing, unpaved roads, etc. While they are more than relaxed to have kids around, note the house itself is filled with marble floors and glass walls.

We will be talking about our experience at Sunrise House for a long time. It was definitely the highlight of our travels.

The sunrise house was perfect for our family of 10. Ms Laarni was very accommodating to all our needs. The cook Ms Marietta provided us with delicious Filipino cuisine. They have spoiled us during our stay. I would definitely recommend this place. We didn’t want to leave. Thank you to the wonderful staff for the great experience!!!

This is the most amazing place. We loved every minute of our visit. The view is breathtaking and everything is done to perfection. The staff was very kind and professional. We enjoyed very much meeting the owners, and helping out with the feeding program that they support at the local school. The pool was awesome and very clean. The kitchen was modern, and we liked the ability to cook our meals there. The beds were very soft which was a very welcomed changed from the other places we stayed at in the Philippines. I could go on and on, but I will just say that we highly recommend this place. The house is top notch and the people are top notch also. You will not regret staying here.

We (four adults and three children) stayed here for a week the beginning of April. The location is less than an hour in the included van transport from the ferry dock, between the seaside town of Loay and the river town of Loboc. The very unusual and high end house is in a rural area, though hardly remote. A fifteen minute walk will take you to a village on the banks of the Loboc River; if you cross the hanging pedestrian bridge at the end of the road you can eat at the very good restaurant at the Loboc River Resort. We brought our own food and cooked it in a very well equipped kitchen. A housekeeper came every day and the pool was kept immaculately clean. Laarni, the manager, lives next door and was always cheerful and helpful. We didn't go touring, having been to Bohol several times before, but rather stayed at the house and enjoyed the views, the setting and the pool. I highly recommend this rental. And the WiFi connection was excellent as well.

This place is not to be missed. Make sure you get an airport or boat transfer and stop at the supermarket on your way. It has beautiful surroundings, loving care takers who went above and beyond for us! If you are looking to relax and take it easy with a private cook and swimming pool then this is the spot for you!! Alaric and Raspal.
